Cases are higher than they ever have been in many parts of the state. Some of that can be explained by increased testing capacity, but positivity shows not all of it is based on testing alone.
Positivity's climb is concerning.
At least hospitals stalled
Bottom line
Can't stress this enough... this is a HUGE week for numbers.
Counties are under pressure to slow their increases. If they can't, expect to see more restrictions around state soon.
As always. Don't panic. Arm yourself with info/data.
And be safe!

Blames those who refuse to believe in science for this.
To get back to Level 2... Denver must hold lower numbers for two weeks.
This could last "a little while"
Vote centers NOT impacted by this.
"this isn't fear mongering" says Hancock
"A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work," he says. "Businesses have faced a lot of hardships... people's livelihoods are at risk... because some people didn't take this seriously"
JUST IN - @CityofDenver will announce at 1130am that it is moving back from Safer Level 2 to Safer Level 3. This has big implications for businesses all over city that will now move from 50% capacity to 25%.
